Y'all here's the tea about fireworks
- the chemicals in them harm humans and pets
*copper(blue)- linked to causing cancer because of the dioxin
*barium(green)- used as a type of poison and is radioactive
Other dangerous heavy metals/chemicals in fireworks
*Cadmium, lithium, antimony, rubidium, strontium, lead, and potassium nitrate
All of what I just listed cause respiratory issues which we don't need more of
- they contribute to environmental pollution
Not only is this because of the waste they leave behind its also because of the smoke they leave too which can result in AIRBORNE ARISNIC
If you are in the valley like I am and have traveled at all you know the second you leave you can finally breathe especially during the week of the 4th of July
Again not only does it effect your air it effects your water for miles. It has been proven that the chemicals and metals in the firework itself contaminates water in the air and on the ground
- your neighbors could have sensory issues/auditory issues
As someone who has very intense auditory processing issues fireworks are a absolute trigger for everything.
-your neighbors might have respiratory issues
Another thing that is very close to home for me. Even the smoke off of others yards sets some peoples asthma or other respiratory issues off.
Idk if im the only one but I really don't want to set my yard or house on fire
No but really they are super fire prone and idk about u I don't think anyone really wants to set shit on fire and get finned/arrested.
Fr guys please be mindful of your neighbors and the eco system so before you strike the match think. And if you really need your fireworks Disney has been doing research/has engineered more eco and human friendly fireworks. I know Disney isn't super accessible to most but just please be mindful and maybe make it a big thing to see fireworks instead of an annual thing.
